Have a client that runs a fleet of EV cabs (toyota). They get 300 miles in the city which lasts the entire day. And a fillup costs around $7 overnight when cab demand is low. There is less maintenance downtime and the battery is warranted longer than any gasoline vehicle (10 years 150k miles). Plus no more gasoline spills or exhaust fumes in their garage.

Many major fleets like Amazon are also going EV.

Long trips that require public recharging I agree are a nightmare with EVs. But if the range is enough for a typical day and cheap to recharge in a garage overnight, it makes alot of sense for many users

The only Uber I’ve ever taken was a Tesla. Granted, at the time, me and the driver were both contractors for space X, so there’s that.

Otherwise, not that I know of

Same here - been on 100 or so Uber rides too. Seems that time is money for Uber drivers as they don’t make much money when hooked up to an extension cord.
